There is a reason why Li Moyan did not go home directly after the holiday.

Jingdian has a curriculum called "Summer Semester", that is, a group of foreign teachers will be invited to come and start classes during the summer vacation of each year, which is regarded as an academic exchange activity, and it is a compulsory credit for every student before graduation.

My sister didn't choose it when she was a freshman, so she had to stay in school for a month during the summer vacation of her sophomore year. ”

Lin Yi didn't think about this stubble at all because he hadn't even taken a few serious classes in his school, let alone this kind of marginal course in the summer vacation?

After the senior sister agreed to join, Lin Yi immediately shared his second business plan with her, and the two discussed it for a long time after returning to school.

The summer semester is actually very relaxed, lasting for one month, but only one course in the middle, there is a lot of free time, and it is more convenient to start a business than usual.

Lin Yi had only arranged some interviews with Liu Jianni before, which could be regarded as building momentum for himself in public opinion, but other preparations had not yet begun.

This time they are not as poor as last time, and of course the process of starting a business is much more formal, first of all, you have to register a company.

When talking about this, Li Moyan jokingly proposed: "How many shares does Boss Lin plan to give me this time, can't it be less than the last time?" ”

When the senior sister first agreed to start a business with them, she was very serious about talking about shares, but now the familiarity between the two is relatively relaxed, and neither of them thinks it will be an obstacle.

Lin Yi did think about it before: "Our start-up capital this time is 10 million US dollars, and I can give my senior sister a 15% share." ”

This ratio is not small, and the senior sister received 1.6 million US dollars from casually, which is just enough to take out 1.5 million as a contribution, and Lin Yi's side is of course not a problem to take out 8.5 million US dollars.

Senior sister is not a person with strong material desires, and leaving $100,000 is enough for her to spend.

Li Jianguo's departure gave Lin Yi more space in terms of equity, and the proportion he gave was on the one hand to consider the senior sister's ability to contribute, and on the other hand, leaving 5% more than before was not intended to be put in his own pocket, but was intended to be used to absorb more talents.

The really useful talents in the entrepreneurial stage are not those that can be hired by spending money.

Li Moyan really didn't raise any objections, she just asked, "Do we need to raise $10 million ourselves?" ”

It is normal for entrepreneurs like Lin Yi and others who have a certain amount of capital not to melt angel rounds, but if they directly take out $10 million, it is equivalent to the volume of the A round or even B round of an ordinary startup.

In fact, when Lin Yi went to find Liu Jianni before, the other party proposed that if there was a new business plan to tell her, if it sounded reliable, Lin Yi felt that it should not be a problem to take a few million dollars from her.

He certainly had a reason.

"First of all, senior sister, you should remember that I just said that our two main competitors have already completed tens of millions of dollars in financing, and I don't want to have a huge gap in funding from the beginning like last time."

"Secondly, the track we chose must be paved with money in the end, not that we will not deal with investors if we have one or two rounds of financing now, we will need their support sooner or later."

"Senior sister, our equity will be diluted very quickly at that time, and it will be good to keep a little more now to ensure our control in the future."

Li Moyan didn't ask any more questions, although Lin Yi's predictions now sound somewhat inexplicable, but his previous magical judgment that "every group will definitely enter the takeaway industry" finally came true.

In addition to registering the company, their immediate priority is to come up with the product, but this time Lin Yi does not plan to get started himself, so he needs a technical team to realize his needs.

Then Lin Yi and his senior sister appeared at Professor Li Feifei's house.

The two sides are now very familiar with each other, so Li Feifei poured them a glass of water and sat down and asked, "You just made a windfall, and you didn't go out to play a few laps during the summer vacation, and you came to me again, I'm afraid you are playing some bad idea, right?" ”

She's still so fast-talking, but that's a joke.

"There are two things."

Lin Yi said with a smile, "The first is that we had a lot of help from Mr. Li in the process of establishing Casual, but the process of selling Casuals was very hasty, so I came here today to thank you." ”

Lin Yi didn't just talk, they didn't come empty-handed today, but prepared some gifts with their hearts, and Li Feifei saw that it was not a valuable thing, so she accepted it.

Then he also proposed to sponsor Professor Li Feifei's research, and he got more than 12 million US dollars casually, of which 8.5 million yuan will be used to start a business next time, and he plans to keep some for his parents when he goes home, and he should still be able to take out some of it.

This money will not be too much, Lin Yi is purely to express his gratitude to Professor Li Feifei.

The female professor was also surprised that she was able to incubate a project worth $20 million when she accidentally received the task of entrepreneurship guidance assigned by a college.

Now she may have a closer relationship with Lin Yi and Li Moyan than most of the graduate students she has led, but she didn't plan to take their money, so she politely declined.

"I have received your wishes, so let's just say the second thing."

Lin Yi is so sorry to give up.

"I really want to ask Mr. Li for help in this second thing. My sister and I are preparing for a second business plan, and we need a partner with excellent technical strength to join. ”

In the past, the technical strength of the casual takeaway network was mainly a graduate student led by Professor Li Feifei, but now that he is rich, Lin Yi is of course embarrassed to do this kind of prostitution again.

Li Feifei asked rhetorically: "Technical partner, do you mean you want me to help you find a CTO?" ”

The so-called CTO is the chief technology officer, and they are not as petty as they were before, and the technical leader of a $10 million startup is qualified to hang this title.

After Lin nodded, Li Feifei asked again: "Why don't you ask Jenny for help, she must have more candidates than I can think of." ”

"Actually, I've asked her to help me contact the media before, but I don't plan to take her money yet, so I don't want to owe her too much favor and let her know too much information."

Lin Yi told the truth, and then briefly introduced his general plan.

Li Feifei is not the kind of pure teacher, she has a certain understanding of the industry, so before Lin Yi finished speaking, she interrupted and asked:

"There are already a lot of players in the track you chose, some of them have deep backgrounds, and some of the players in the first batch are now eliminated, are you sure you want to wade into this troubled water?"

The female professor meant that it seemed to be too late to enter the game now, of course Lin Yi understood the situation, but he knew that the turning point had not yet appeared with the memory of his previous life.

"I don't think the war in this industry has really started yet, and although it seems to be lagging behind, my sister and I want to try again."

"After all, when we started Casual, Hungry has been running for three years, and when each regiment finally bought us aggressively, we didn't think we would lose to it, did we?"

Li Feifei knew that it was a knot in their hearts to sell casually, so she didn't persuade her anymore, but just promised them to help them find someone.
